3.03 PERFORMANCE

A. Each trade shall be responsible for the moving, removal, cutting, patching, and repair to work under his supervision including coordination with other trades so as to cause the least damage to each type of work encountered, and so as to return the building as much as possible to the appearance of new work. Patching of finish materials shall be assigned to mechanics skilled in the work of the finish trade involved.

B. Patching:

1. Where any portion of an existing finished surface is damaged, lifted, stained, or otherwise made or found to be imperfect, patch or replace the imperfect portion of the surface with matching material.

2. Provide adequate support or substrate for patching of finishes.

3. If the imperfect surface was a painted or coated one, repaint or recoat the patch portion in such a way that uniform color and texture over the entire surface results.

4. Where the surrounding surface cannot be matched, repaint or recoat the entire adjoining floor, wall or ceiling.

5. Fit work airtight to pipes, sleeves, ducts, conduit and other penetrations through surfaces.

C. Transitions:

1. Where new work abuts or finishes flush with existing work, make the transition as smooth and workmanlike as possible. Patched work shall match existing adjacent work in texture and appearance to make the patch or transition reasonably imperceptible to the eye.

2. Where masonry, or other finished surface is cut in such a way that a smooth transition with new work is not possible, terminate the existing surface in a neat fashion along a straight line at a natural line of division and provide trim appropriate to the finished surface as approved by the Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative.

3. Where two or more spaces are indicated to become one space, rework floors and ceiling so that horizontal planes are without breaks, steps or bulkheads.

4. Mechanically or chemically treat existing substrates to obtain compatibility with newly applied materials.

D. Matching:

1. Restore existing work damaged during construction to a condition acceptable to the Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative.

SECTION 02 00 45 - 4

2. Where partitions or walls are removed, patch the floors, walls and ceilings with finish materials to match adjacent finishes.

3. Remove existing surfacings which may tend to cause delaminations of new surfacings from existing substrates.

E. Overall requirement that the work be completed:

1. Where a product or type of construction occurs in the existing building, and it is not specified as a part of the new work, provide such products or types of construction as needed to patch, extend or match the existing work.

F. Exercise extreme care to maintain the integrity of dampproofing, waterproofing, and roofing materials. Repair defective existing materials damaged by penetrations and preparations required for installation of the new work.

3.04 REPAIR

A. Replace work damaged in the course of alterations.

B. If the repaired work is not brought up to the standard for new work, the

Contracting Officer or his/her authorized representative will direct that it be cut out and replaced with new work.

3.05 FIRE/SMOKE PENETRATIONS

A. All penetrations through fire-rated or smoke partitions require sleeves, fire-taping and fire-safing:

1. Fire-tape and seal between drywall and sleeve.

2. Fire-safe between the sleeve and the pipe, duct, conduit, etc.

B. Penetrations through the existing concrete floor require fire-safing/sealant:

1. Maintain fire rating of system that has been penetrated.

C. Products:

1. USG Fire Stop System.

2. Tremco Fire Stopping Systems.
